Solutions
1a. log2 3 = 𝑝𝑝
𝑞𝑞
(2𝑝𝑝𝑞𝑞)𝑞𝑞 = 3q
M1
2p = 3q M1 1b.
Assume that log2 3 is rational then, log2 3 = 𝑝𝑝
𝑞𝑞
2p = 3q M1
If 2 and 3 a re co prime, p = q = 0 M1
Therefore, by contradiction, log2 3 is irrational. M1 2.
Assume x2 – y2 = 1 (x + y)(x – y) = 1 M1
x + y = 1 x – y = 1 M1
2x = 2 x = 1 M1
y = 0 M1 Therefore, proof by contradiction there are no positive integer solutions. M1
